Lady Margaret Hospital is a small 10-bedded hospital at Millport on Great Cumbrae in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Ayrshire and Arran.[1]

## History

[edit]

The foundation stone for the new "Millport Infectious Diseases Hospital" was laid by Sir Charles Dalrymple, a former Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, on 13 January 1900.[2] The building, designed by architects Fryer & Penman of Largs, consisted of red sandstone forming three blocks - one for male patients, another for female patients, and the third for the administrative staff.[2] It was officially opened by Lady Margaret Crichton-Stuart, daughter of John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, on 25 September 1900.[3]

The facility was converted to a general hospital in 1929[3] and joined the National Health Service as the Lady Margaret Hospital (named in recognition of the person who opened it) in 1948.[4]

## Services

[edit]

The hospital has facilities for treating minor injuries.[5]
